Abstract

A new and distinct hybrid of Polemonium caeruleum plant characterized by vigor and variegated leaves.

Description

The present invention relates to a new and distinct cultivar of Polemonium caeruleum, of the family Polemoniaceae, which originated as a chance seedling found by Floyd McDonald in a sowing of Polemonium caeruleum.
The new variety has been reproduced only by asexual propagation (division and tissue culture). Each of the progeny exhibits identical characteristics to the original plant.
This plant is characterized by the following:
1. Beautiful, stable, variegated foliage that persists all summer to frost.
2. Excellent vigor and heat tolerance.
3. Good size blue flowers.
Asexual propogation by tissue culture using standard micropropagation techniques with terminal and lateral shoots as done in Canby, Oreg., shows that the foregoing characteristics and distinctions come true to form and are established and transmitted through succeeding propagations. The present invention has not been evaluated under all possible environmental conditions. The phenotype may vary with variations in environment without a change in the genotype of the plant.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWING
FIG. 1 shows Polemonium ‘Snow and Sapphires’ growing in the garden in Canby, Oreg.
FIG. 2 shows a comparison of a flowering branch of Polemonium ‘Brise d'Anjou’ (top) with the new cultivar (bottom).

COMPARISONS TO SIMILAR POLEMONIUM
Compared to Polemonium ‘Brise d'Anjou’ (U.S. Plant Pat. No. 9,781), this new cultivated variety has more vigor and is taller, with bigger, darker flowers. The leaf color is a grayer green with a cream rather than light yellow margin. This new cultivar withstands heat and humidity, which causes Polemonium ‘Brise d'Anjou’ to die back.
